Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ready? All right, here's your first question. Chemistry is such a broad science that it is sometimes divided in to five major branches. What are these branches?

Answer: Physical, Inorganic, Biochemistry, Analytical, and Organic

Physical chemistry deals with applying physics to the study of matter. It's also probably the most important branch. Inorganic chemistry deals with stuff that is chemically composed of elements other than carbon. The branch of Biochemistry concerns itself with living things. Analytical chemistry deals with analyzing and finding out what substances are present in a particular material and how much of each substance is present. Finally, organic chemistry deals with substances that are compounds of carbon.

2. Often in chemistry you get results with large amounts of digits. That's where significant figures come into play. How many significant figures are there in 8,300,342,040,000?

Answer: 9

Use these 4 rules to find the number of significant figures:
1. All non-zero digits are significant.
2. Zeros that are at the end of a number that has decimal points are significant.
3. Zeros between nonzero digits are significant.
4. Zeros at the end of a number that does not have a decimal point ARE NOT significant.

3. There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. What is the state of matter called plasma?

Answer: An extremely hot gas where atoms are partially broken down to form ions

In stars, because of the very high temperatures, plasma is the only state which exists. Because there is a countless amount of stars in the universe, plasma is the most common state of matter.

Blood plasma and plasma TVs are different, not having to do with states of matter.

4. In chemistry you might hear the term kinetic energy. What exactly is kinetic energy?

Answer: The energy possessed by matter due to its motion

To find the kinetic energy of an object, find its speed and its mass. Then, use this formula: KE = 1/2 mv2

5. John Dalton was one of the most important scientists, ever. What was one of his most recognizable contributions to the science of chemistry?

Answer: He proposed an extensive model of the atom

John Dalton's 1803 theory on atoms, based almost entirely on experimental evidence, had the following ideas:
1. Every element consists of tiny, indivisible, indestructible particles, called atoms.
2. All of the atoms of a particular element have the same size, mass, and chemical behavior.
3. Differences in properties of elements result from differences in the atoms of the elements.
4. The atoms of the elements combined in a compound are combined in a definite ratio.
5. A chemical reaction is the result of rearrangement, combination, or separation of atoms.

6. If two competing laboratories both claim to have discovered element 123 first, and cannot agree on a name for it, what should it be named until they agree on who synthesized the element first?

Answer: Unbitrium

Until they can agree on who synthesized the element first, they use this system to temporarily name it: 0=nil 1=un 2=bi 3=tri 4=quad 5=pent 6=hex 7=sept 8=oct 9=enn. So, element 123 = un bi tri + um, which, when put together, = unbitrium.

7. In the entire universe, what is the most abundant element?

Answer: Hydrogen

Scientists estimate that the universe consists of 75% hydrogen. Iron is the most common element in the entire Earth, oxygen is the most common element in the human body, and lead is the most common element in my brain.

8. Atoms that are of the same element, but differ in their mass numbers are called isotopes. Which of these elements has only one naturally occurring isotope?

Answer: Iodine

Yep, it's iodine. The others all have at least three.

Answer: A saturated solution

A saturated solution contains all the solute possible under equilibrium conditions at a given temperature.

10. Where might you find americium-241 at in your house?

Answer: Smoke detectors

Americium-241 is also used in environmental studies and industrial quality control. It has a half-life of 432 years.
